Ratings and reviews

This is the only book I have purchased from play books that does not allow you to read aloud. As a visually impaired person I deprnd on this option to enable me to read books. If this option is not available, I wish that would be noted prior to purchase.

Very informative and eye-opening. I never knew some of these conditions were so prevalent. It was a bit tough getting through the first part of the book because there is some technical ground to cover. Once you make it through that the book is a good balance of technical and practical examples.

Must read in a life time
